    Chargemaster or beam scale? Your opinions...

    i just got a Chargemaster so havent reprogrammed it or anything as of yet. Both work well. As for speed...right now i think it is honestly about the same. Uniflow and drop a bit low and a quick trickle up only takes ~30 seconds per round. he chargemaster seems to take 20-30 seconds per a charge...

    Recommendations for Chronograph

    I picked up a Magnetospeed v2 a while ago. Works great and is very user friendly. It took all of 5 minutes to figure it out and be getting data. Is expensive though

    Getting set up for reloading, kit or piece by piece?

    Id only buy a kit if you were using it as a stepping stone into reloading. Like either you didnt know if it was for you or if you just wanted to get started now but knew youd upgrade later. Lets you try things out and see what you like and dont like. And if you dont like something its not like...

    Cleaning question. Should last patch be dry or wet?

    My last patch always has some oil on it. Usually 2-3 drops on the 'tip" with the rest of the dry patch sliding behind it if that makes sense.

    Rifle Scopes Ideal mag for shooting 500 thru 1000yds

    I recently shot 700 yards for the first time and was actually surprised how little magnification i used. Target was a 66% steel torso. I stayed on 6.5x for most the majority of the time. Was easy to see the target. I did dial up to 20x but didnt really see a need to shoot at that high. But it...

    How and how often do you clean your precision gas gun?

    Brush and a couple passes with patches every second range trip or so (so ~100 rounds) for the barrel. Just two passes with the brush since im not cleaning the living crap out of it just getting the big crap out. Followed by two-three patches then an oiled patch. Basically just going till they...

    whats a good press for newbr?

    I have a lee turret and it has worked great. Though I am upgrading to a 550b for my plunking rounds since my reloading has turned into for me and my dad. The lee has worked great. I load my "match" ammo with it and the oal stays within +/- .03 90% of the time. But I'm measuring off the tip so...

    Finally done with first build! Pics!

    Looks great. I know all about the losing roll pins and stuff from the first time. If you plan to do it again next time you order stuff just pick up a couple extra since they are so cheap. SHould shoot great hopefully!

    Precision 5.56 AR worth it when you already have a .308 semi?

    O I never said it wouldn't still reach out far. I just enjoy my 223 for under 300 and the 308 for more than that. Though the 223 has gone out just as far as the 308

    Precision 5.56 AR worth it when you already have a .308 semi?

    Do it. For 200 yards a 556/223 will do great. It's what I have for an ar and it is cheaper to shoot and less recoil so that is a bonus.

    Sorting Components: How low do you go?

    I don't sort at all. Mixed brass, bullets aren't sorted, powder thrown +/-.1gr or so. Still shoots half moa. I doubt I'm a good enough shooter to be able to see a difference. Nor is my stock savage 10fcp-k really capable of showing it more than likely.

    I might be interested as well. Really would depend on the days though. Bit of a drive for me to get there but would make it work if the days worked out

    My OAL varys per round. Is this a OK amount or to much?

    My 308 loads using the 175smk's all vary about like yours (though not quite as much on the high side) and will still shoot half MOA when i do my part so i wouldnt worry about it to much at this point IMO

    Range Report: Savage 10fcp-k

    I have the exact same rifle. Mine likes the 175gr smks with varget and 2.800oal. I haven't played with much beyond that. Bwhen I do my part it shoots .5moa. And I have the targets to prove it at home :)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Fireclean or Froglube?

    I just started using FireClean myself. Liking it so far. Im just a "shoot at the range" type guy who is coming from Hoppes 9 lol. But i like it 100x times more on all my guns. Does make clean up at least seem a bit easier (could be mental for me though) but the biggest thing is the gun stays...
